Why Cancers Suffer from Mental Disorders More Often Than Other Signs

Today, we will embark on an exciting journey through the winding paths of our beloved Cancers' psyches. They are known for their sensitivity and intuition, but these qualities also make them particularly vulnerable to mental health issues. Let's figure out why Cancers often find themselves on the frontline in the battle against mental disorders.

Emotional Roller Coaster

Cancers live in a world of emotions, where every feeling intensifies a hundredfold. Their mood changes more often than the phases of the Moon, creating the perfect ground for developing bipolar disorder. Today, a Cancer is at the peak of bliss, tomorrow – in the depths of despair. These emotional roller coasters exhaust not only those around them but also the Cancer themselves.

Constant mood swings drain the Cancer's nervous system, making them more susceptible to depression and anxiety disorders. Imagine living with an inner radio that not only never stops but also constantly switches between the stations "Ecstasy" and "Melancholy." It's no wonder Cancers often feel mentally overwhelmed – they simply can't keep up with their emotions.

Hypersensitivity

Cancers have an amazing ability to sense even the slightest changes in the mood of those around them. Superpower or curse? It depends on how you look at it. Cancer absorbs other people's emotions like a sponge but forgets to squeeze it out in time. As a result, they carry not only their own emotional baggage but also that of others.
This hypersensitivity leads to Cancer constantly being in a state of emotional overstrain. They worry about everyone and everything, forgetting about their own well-being. No wonder Cancer's psyche can't handle such a load and eventually breaks down. Anxiety disorders and panic attacks become frequent guests in the life of this zodiac sign.

Tendency to Overthink

Cancers love diving into the depths of their subconscious. They analyze every thought, every action, every word. This is a great trait for a writer or psychologist, but a real disaster for mental health. A Cancer can replay the same situation in their head for hours, finding new reasons to worry.
Constant overthinking creates fertile ground for developing obsessive-compulsive disorder. A Cancer fixates on the smallest details, turning their life into an endless series of rituals and checks. 'Did I turn off the iron?' they wonder, returning home dejected and late for an important meeting.
Help your Cancer find a balance between sensitivity and self-care. Who knows, maybe your support will help this amazing zodiac sign turn their traits from flaws into superpowers. After all, who but a Cancer can feel and understand this world so deeply?
